"By using our online engagement platform for this consultation, we knew we would be able to reach more residents in a more cost-effective way than by doing anything else.”
"The Go Vocal platform has extensive information-sharing capabilities. In addition, the ability for residents to comment on the ideas and start a discussion sparks lively conversations.”
“In addition to increasing the quantity of participants, we were able to improve the quality of our community conversations by answering direct questions and responding to concerns promptly, before misinformation and rumor mills could overtake the dialogue.”
“When you drill down into the functionality you see that CitizenLab is more flexible, visually appealing, and user-friendly... I feel the way CitizenLab’s platform is set up fosters a positive participation environment [and] the fact that the back office is so easy to use has been a massive bonus because it doesn’t scare anyone away, no matter their comfort level with technology.”
